I have a mate who got himself out of the friendzone on the weekend. Very proud of him given his gameplan with this girl was to put himself in the friendzone and then go for the hail mary. Girl was way out of his league as well so had to give him mad respect for it.

I've seen this strategy work before. Several times, actually. I'm pretty sure the the "friendzone" is just a psychological trap that exists in the minds of men.

You can only allow yourself to be put into the friendzone. You can't be forced into it. It's been a while since I had to do the whole dating thing but when I was a teenager I would carry a torch for a girl and if she didn't reciprocate I'd hang in the friend zone. In college I got over that and if the girl wasn't interested I just moved on. I think that's a fairly common progression, though some go through it earlier, and others I guess never do.
